Sept 1 (Reuters) - Ampol Ltd (ALD) on Tuesday said Chevron Corp CVX.N had sued the Australian fuel supplier alleging breaches of a trademark licence agreement under which Ampol previously used the U.S. company's "Caltex" brand.
Chevron is alleging these breaches occurred due to Ampol's usage of "non-compliant" signage at 177 of its about 800 controlled retail sites, and is seeking an order for removal of the signage and damages, Ampol said in a statement.
Ampol began the process of transitioning from "Caltex" branding to its old "Ampol" brand in December, after it received a termination notice from Chevron.
Ampol said it would defend against the allegations.
